Adonai Mitchell has a New Opportunity in New York
The New York Jets acquired wide receiver Adonai Mitchell at Tuesday's trade deadline in the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts. Although Mitchell, a second-rounder by the Colts last year out of Texas, is still searching for his first NFL touchdown, he will have increased opportunity for the 1-7 Jets the rest of the season. Top wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) looks primed to make his return this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, but it's possible that Mitchell could settle in as the team's WR2 when all is said and done this year. Josh Reynolds (hip) is currently on Injured Reserve, and nobody else in New York's WR corps has really stepped up as a reliable option in the passing game. Mitchell had nine catches for 152 yards on 16 targets through eight games in a crowded WR room in Indy. For the increased opportunity alone, Mitchell is worth a waiver-wire pickup in deeper fantasy leagues.
